User's notes

I was photographing the old water wheel in Lowden forest park, which was burnt in the bushfires recently. Suddenly noticed this skink, which tried to find refuge under my shoe. the bumper on the front of the shoe is approx 35mm wide, which makes this skink just over 100mm. Had a very long tail.
